The popular Kalamazoo pizzeria will hold its fifth annual Ugly Sweater Party starting at 9 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 22 at the location at 3307 Stadium Drive. Co-owner Charlie Konett said the event started at the company five years ago when organizers of previous parties needed a new home.

Konett said the organizers stopped putting on the event, but it was such a good time, Bilbo's took on the party. Konett and his business partner John Hindman will attend the Ugly Sweater Party in appropriate attire.

"Mine's not terrible, but John has a pretty nasty one," Konett said of their sweaters.

There is no cover for the event.

Konett said there will drink specials, including draft beer specials and $2 U-Call-Its, and live music from Kalamazoo's Hired Hand, the acoustic quintet of Dale Hein, Bill Hughes, Bob Allison, Tim Cooper and Willy T. Rose.
